BOOST FOR TOWER HAMLETS HOUSING ZONE
One of the last brownfield sites in Tower Hamlets has been secured for redevelopment by Lindhill Homes and Galliard Homes and will form a significant phase of the Poplar Riverside Housing Zone initiative approved by the Mayor of London.
Ailsa and St Leonard’s Wharves comprise 3ha of heavily contaminated land next to the River Lea, and have the potential to deliver a regeneration scheme of up to 1,000 new homes. This residential-led development will include commercial space, substantial new public realm and a new riverside walk.
We are designing the scheme, which has been the subject of pre-application meetings with both the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and the Greater London Authority. A planning submission is anticipated in spring 2016.
Gary Fitzpatrick from Lindhill said: “We are proud to be promoting this major regeneration of a large tract of land that has laid barren for many years. Our schemes deliver a new residential quarter for Poplar and generate much needed housing for London.”
